Term 1 Reflection
Term 1 Math Reflection
During term one we did lots of Rate Ratio and Proportion. One thing I remember is the Sesame Street videos we did in groups, that was very fun. Another thing I remember doing was the dreaded Pythagorean Theory involving right triangles, that was a living H-E-Double hockey sticks. The thing I disliked the most about term 1 was learning about the squares and square routes. During term 1 I honestly did not do most of my work, I did very little blog work but two posts I remember doing are Sesame Street video post and another post about the homework pages we had. In term 2, I will do more blog work, finish homework and listen more in class. I will try to test better and soon enough I will be smarter than you Mr. Harbeck.
In term 2 I think I did well on volume and surface area. I think I did well on my tests because I remembered the formulas. It was easy to understand. I struggled with some of the formulas for finding volume. I didn't like finding the volume for cylinders at all. It sucked. I didn't really understand percents. Next term I will listen more in class and focus on my work more. I will also try to be involved with class discussion to help my learning. I learned how to convert decimals to fractions. I learned how to calculate taxes by a ratio table. I learned how to calculate the formula for 3D shapes like rectangle or a right triangle. I learned how to find the volume of them too Surface area is the amount of units outside of the 3D shape, and volume is the is the amount of units inside the shape.
3) I can relate to “The Man Who Planted Trees” in many ways. First, like Elzéard, I am a man concerned about the environment. Why shouldn't I be? It gives us many resources that allow us to live. At my school, I remember the elementary kids planting trees around the play structure. This is also like Elzéard.
5) I think there are many reasons why people and organizations approach the environment. One reason, probably the best of all, is because some people plant trees just for the sake of the environment. I said that this reason was probably the best because these people aren’t looking for the money, they just want to make a brighter future. Another reason is just to bribe the people for votes for something like an election. I’ve seen politicians like this, they say they want to be green to the environment, but once they win the election, what happens to that idea? It never happens. On the other hand, there are the people who cut down trees for the money. I could imagine that paper making is a big business, so many companies probably cut down a lot of trees. The thing about this is that they often do not plant more trees after, and that really harms the environment.
6) Jean - Jean treated the forest like a second home. He always came there after his wars and see how Elzéard and his forest were doing. The charcoal burners - They did not care about the forest. Elzéard Bouffier - Elzéard treated the forest with a lot of care. It was his home and his life. He would plant trees every day until he had a huge forest. Elzéard’s tree planting was enough to revive a nearby village Government Official - The government official wanted the forest just for the fame and fortune . Member of Parliament - The Member of Parliament used the forest as something to get votes. He declared that it belonged to the people of France. At the time of World War II, he suggested that the trees should be cut down for steam trains. Timber merchants - They were greedy Villagers - The villagers did not know who made the forest.
10) Trees affect the local level because it is used to make fire. It is also used for things like furniture, and tools. On a global level, trees produce oxygen which helps us breathe
